Re: Raiders player signing speculation 2023
Regarding Savage, am I right in remembering an article earlier in the year that stated upon his comeback game in reserves he asked to play wing....or something to that affect? If that is correct that would worry me more than any lack of hard carries or unstructured flair. You'd think he'd walk up a...

Re: 2023 Rd 27 v Sharks: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
I know we are only a week removed from Wighton to the centres appearing our favoured way forward, but that was before Horsburgh was suspended for (likely) the rest of our season. I think we should run out as below to give ourselves the best chance this week and however long the rest of our season la...

Re: Canberra Raiders sign star young Eels half Ethan Sanders
It is a change for us, Stewart (Sutherland Shire), Strange (Central Coast) and Sanders (Hills District) are from areas we don’t normally target. The hard part will be keeping them. Maybe why they are chasing the one age group so hard, it will make it more likely they stick together. Yep, I think th...

Re: Canberra Raiders sign star young Eels half Ethan Sanders
Sanders been good defensively as a half but two tackles in a row catches him out and he doesn’t get back quick enough and concedes the penalty and they score off the next set. Still he is probably giving me more confidence as a three defender on the left side than I have seen for us at times. Haven...

Re: Raiders reportedly interested in signing Keaon Koloamatangi
I personally still think and hope we are zeroing in on Finefeuiaki still. But Koloamatangi is a gun so if we got him I'd be very happy. I see him on the Josh Papalii trajectory. A few more years on the edge before transitioning to the middle.

Please let this be the end of the "Frawley is better than Wighton" discourse. As flawed as Wighton is and boy is he flawed, he's MILES better than Frawley. If we were serious about winning tonight at halftime Ricky should have realised he needed to get Wighyon to 6 and put Croker on for F...

Re: 2023 Rd 26 v Broncos: Game Day
Ricky just said on Channel 9 that if we win one more game we get a guaranteed home final. Maybe we will if we win a game but we can still come 7th with only 1 win. You'd think he know that?

Re: Canberra Raiders reportedly keen to target Ezra Mam
I really like Mam but I think.with the investment we are making in Stewart, Strange and Sanders we'd be better off targetting a second rower and a hooker over a five-eighth. Kulikefu Finefeuiaki in the second row for 2025 would fit our balance and timeline better.

Re: 2023 Rd 26 v Broncos: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
I don't know if they will line up this way but on NRL.com they have Kris at fullback and Rapana on the wing....one week after Rapana had a blinder at fullback. Surely not. But deep down I know it will be so.

Re: Canberra Raiders team for 2024
The complete lack of even a mediocre talent signing at fullback or five-eigth makes me believe we're going with Stewart and Strange. I could see a backline of: 1-Stewart 2-Savage 3-Kris 4-Timoko 5-Rapana 6-Strange 7-Fogarty for next year. If this is a means to an end, get them in, blood them, aim f...

Re: Jack Wighton to join South Sydney Rabbitohs in 2024
The one area i'd target for an outside recruitment is Hooker.

I think we remain only 50/50 to make the finals. I can't see us winning another game so it will come down to Souths beating the Chooks. That is a 50/50 proposition imo. Tips in Chooks favour if Latrell is suspended It could also come down to Panthers not resting stars against the Cowboys in the las...

Pretty obvious that of the 4 hookers on.our roster Trevilyan is top 2 and probably the best from what I saw today. Whoever is saying otherwise, I have no words.
